I don't like the Giants or the Patriots, but I guess I'll be going for New York here. At least I get to watch this game live. I've never watched a Super Bowl live. It's always on a Monday over here of course... a freaking SCHOOL DAY.

I hate all things Boston. I'm a Jets fan...so its natural I'd be rooting against the Pats. Unlike some Jets fans, I also have no problem with the Giants. Ive been rooting for them this entire playoff run.

It will be so sweet for a NY team to end the Pats streak and give NY a win in the Boston rivalry....we havent had one in awhile now.

I'm sure Boston fans would feel just as bad as we did after 2004 if they lose this Super Bowl in 2 weeks.

As a Boston fan NOTHING that happens in two weeks with the Pats would come close to being as bad as Boone in 2003. Not even close.

Re: Super Bowl XLII: New York Giants vs New England Patriots

wow. the giants have been nothing short of amazing this postseason. they've given me a few headaches, and i've lost my voice a few times, but i'm so excited to see them playing in the superbowl this year. and hell it's against the pats, this is gonna be one crazy insane awesome game! that being said....

We lost four consecutive games; two of which we were leading in the late innings; to our biggest rivals; considered the biggest rivalry in sports; and for the first time to them in the playoffs.

Also consider that there is little, if any, rivalry between the Giants and Patriots in and of itself. Any football rivalry that Patriots fans with New York is with the Jets.

Yes, it would be one of the greatest things I could ask for as a Giants fan to beat an 18-0 team in the Super Bowl, but it does not make up for 2004.

Also, lets re-focus on the "reason for the season": winning the Super Bowl! Not only beating New England.

Re: Super Bowl XLII: New York Giants vs New England Patriots

Now that the high has come down I shall say this. If the Giants play the Patriots 10 times the Patriots would likely win 9 of those games. Its up to the G-men to make 2 weeks from now the outlier, they wont get any more chances.
